Method

1 Fry the onion until soft over a medium heat in olive oil.

2 Add the garlic, ginger and chilli.

3 Add the butternut squash and coat in the ingredients in the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes.

4 Add the tomatoes and coconut milk, and cook for 10-15 mins on low heat until the squash is soft.

5 Drain the chickpeas and add to the sauce. Add the spinach.

6 When the spinach is wilted and the chickpeas are warmed through, add the coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice. The lemon juice lifts the flavour nicely.

7 Add salt and pepper to taste and serve with rice and/or flatbreads.
